Chapter Eighty-Six: The Wenyi Clan in Yangzhou Goes South
"Yesterday, a man named Ye Chengliang led people to look for people on the river, and I sent them away, I don't know if he is still nearby. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If there is no urgency, the fairy girl can stay on the boat to recuperate.
Our ship will sail to Nanjing, and in about half a month it will return to Yangzhou, and then back to Beijing.
These two are my personal maids, and I will let them take care of you during the time you are on the ship, and when you are healed, you can leave at any time. ”
Looking at the reluctant smile on Xian'er's face, Jia Qing spoke.
Although I don't know what happened to her, from Ye Chengliang saying that she was a traitor last night, and the terrible wound on her chest, it is estimated that she is now in a homeless state.
Although she had tied herself before, to be honest, she was basically courteous except for sleeping on the chair all night.
Now that such a delicate peerless beauty has been killed, Jia Qing, as a normal man, is of course willing to be a hero to save beauty.
Xian'er didn't expect Jia Qing to think so thoughtfully for her, and even she didn't expect Jia Qing to save her!
Last night she climbed onto the ship with the last of her strength, and finally fainted from exhaustion. But when the two of them bandaged her wounds, she was woken up in pain again, and she realized that someone was saving her, but she didn't make a sound.
She basically heard everything that happened after that.
"So thank you Jia Gongzi."
Saying that, she still wanted to salute, but as soon as she bowed down, her body shook immediately, and her face turned pale.
Seeing this, Jia Qing hurriedly said, "Miss Xian'er doesn't have to be polite...... By the way, Miss Xian'er is hungry, it just so happens that there are Gaoyou duck eggs and soy milk here, do you want to eat some? ”
Xian'er didn't refuse, she was indeed hungry.
Lai Sheng was very safe in doing things, and the breakfast he ordered someone to send to Jia Qing's room was sufficient, enough for Jia Qing and the four of them to eat.
After breakfast, Lai Sheng came up and said that the carriage was ready and he could leave to meet Lin Ruhai.
Jia Qing and Lai Sheng had never been to Lin Ruhai's mansion, so they took Jia Yun with them, and he knew the way.
When he arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lai Sheng stepped forward to send a post, and after a while, a housekeeper-like person came out of it and said to Jia Qing and the others: "The master is invited!" ”
Although this Lin Mansion is not as splendid as the Ningrong Mansion, it is also very well repaired. The pavilions and pavilions inside, the rockery and the fake water are also decorated, and the bearing is extraordinary.
Jia Qing came to see him as a nephew, so Lin Ruhai met Jia Qing in his study.
"Nephew Jia Qing to meet my uncle!"
Jia Qing bowed to Lin Ruhai very solemnly, which is usually done when meeting the elders of the direct family.
Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Where do you need to make such a big gift, get up quickly." ”
Jia Qing adhered to the strategy he had when he saw Lin Ruhai for the first time, stood up, and said with a straight face: "Salute my uncle, my nephew doesn't dare to slack off." ”
Lin Ruhai, as a representative figure in the ancient bureaucracy, is of course a descendant who likes this kind of knowledgeable and courteous. Jia Qing does this called seeing people and talking to people, and seeing the hell...... No, it's called "the right medicine".
Sure enough, the smile on Lin Ruhai's face became more and more kind, and he asked, "Are you here to participate in the Jiangnan Cultural Association this time?" ”
"Yes, uncle. In addition, I also brought a letter and a gift to my uncle on behalf of Sister Lin. ”
As he spoke, he took out the letter written by Daiyu from his arms, and as for the gift box, Lai Sheng handed it over to the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion before entering the door.
Lin Ruhai obviously didn't expect Jia Qing to bring Daiyu's letter, and he was a little excited for a while, and when he saw Jia Qing handing over the letter, he immediately stood up and took it. After instructing Jia Qing to sit down, he couldn't wait to open the letter and read it.
Jia Qing was going to buy some gifts to bring in, but after thinking about it, what Lin Daiyu asked him to bring was the best gift for Lin Ruhai, so why bother.
Sure enough, Lin Ruhai cared about Lin Daiyu very much, and when he saw Daiyu's letter, he ignored him and looked at the letter directly.
Daiyu's letter was still quite long, Lin Ruhai read it carefully, and it took him half a quarter of an hour before he finished reading it, pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "How is Daiyu's situation in the house, is her body better?" ”
Jia Qing believes that these Daiyu should have said in the letter, Lin Ruhai asked like this, but because the elders cared about their children, and wanted to get the news from Jia Qing in person, so he would feel at ease.
"Sister Lin is all right in Rongguo Mansion, there are uncles and other elders who love her, and there are many sisters and brothers who are joking together every day. The old lady loves her the most, and she also lets Sister Lin live with her old man and be companions all day long.
It's just that Sister Lin is relatively weak and often coughs in winter. The old lady was very nervous, and whenever there was any movement, she would ask the imperial doctor, who often came to the house, to prescribe medicine and see a doctor. didn't let people leave her at all, but compared us grandchildren. With her grandmother who loves her so much, Sister Lin's body is getting better day by day. ”
What is the situation of Daiyu's illness, Lin Ruhai doesn't know, and when he hears Jia Qing say this, he knows that most of them are comforting him. But it's just that I know that Daiyu is better off in Jiafu than in Linfu.
Gently placing the letter on the table, Lin Ruhai said to his butler, "You go down first......"
"Your sister also said a lot about her in your house in the letter, and I can see that she is well taken care of, and you go back to thank the old lady for her kindness on my behalf.
Because I am entangled in mundane affairs, I am not allowed to visit her old man's home in person, and I ask her old man to forgive me, and don't blame her. ”
Jia Qing nodded and should come down.
"Your sister also mentioned you in her letter, saying that you are fluent in poetry and astronomy and arithmetic. A few of your poems are also attached, and I also read them, and they are indeed very good! ”
"My uncle praised it falsely, and my little nephew didn't dare to be it."
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qing with a respectful and polite appearance, although he liked such a young junior very much, he still said: "Our two families are already close, you don't have to be so polite here, just treat it as if it was in your own home." But now Daiyu lives in the house, and she has to bother her nephew to take care of her brother and nephew. ”
Jia Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that he had fallen into Lin Ruhai's eyes, otherwise, it would be impossible to tell him this kind of words that asked him to take care of his daughter!
He really treats Jia Qing as his junior!
"Uncle, please rest assured, the little nephew will definitely pay more attention to Sister Lin, and keep it so that she will not be wronged in Jiafu!"
Jia Qing hit the snake and said with a stick.
After that, Lin Ruhai took a test on Jia Qing's knowledge and found that Jia Qing's basic skills were very solid, and he was more satisfied. When it was almost noon, Lin Ruhai left Jia Qing to have lunch at his place.
The people of the Lin Mansion are thin, Lin Ruhai's only son died when he was three years old, and there is only one daughter under his knees.
After Daiyu's mother, that is, Jia Min, the daughter of Jia's mother, died, Lin Ruhai did not continue the string, but there were still a few aunts and wives, all of whom had no heirs.
At this time, of course, Lin Ruhai would not let his concubine come out to entertain Jia Qing, so lunch was only for Lin Ruhai and Jia Qing.
At the banquet, Lin Ruhai said: "Can the virtuous nephew know the major events of the court today?" ”
Jia Qing was stunned, he had only left the capital for more than ten days, and he hadn't heard anything big about it. So he said bluntly: "The little nephew doesn't know." ”
Lin Ruhai had an expected expression and explained: "I also received the information the day before yesterday that the imperial court is going to war against the Tartars. ”
"At war?"
"The imperial court is in the world, and the Tartar clan outside the pass launched the first wave of attacks on the northwest border pass of our Great Chu half a month ago. Today's two generations of Son of Heaven are furious, and have issued an order to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and the Military Aircraft Pavilion has ordered the military department to mobilize reinforcements from Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi and other provinces to support, vowing to annihilate all these Xiaoxiao at the foot of the Great Wall! ”
Although Da Chu was going to war with this old enemy, Lin Ruhai's tone was not worried at all, thinking that he was very confident in the strength of the dynasty.
